Will Ridge acknowledge that he has the same incestuous feelings for Rick that he once had for Bridget?
Will Taylor finally come to the understanding that it is Brooke she is obsessed with?
Will Melody Thomas Scott be cast as Beth Logan, thereby invigorating the whole canvas?
Does Brooke understand that she needs to be with a man who is capable of emotional range?
Will Owen reveal the diabolical exercise and eating habits that have rendered him hypnotic to all who see him remove his shirt?
Can this show be saved?

We all know it's not incest if they're not actually related! Even if they were raised for many years as blood siblings/children/both, it doesn't count, apparently.

I'm still waiting to see the story where a crazed Pam sabotages Donna's colagen supply.

You know, he gets dissed here, but Don Diamont is head and shoulders above his male castmates, except maybe Jack Wagner (when he is given worthy material).

I think the game is about to -- maybe -- be seriously elevated by a returning actor. I can only hope. This show really needs a "Paul Rauch" to nurture the weaker performances.

Oh PLEASE! All he's done so far is go..."Ooooh giggity giggity! I want to put my fingers in your Orchid, Donna. Errr...I mean your flower....errr I mean whatever the writers decide is a clever sexual innudendo..."

If you mean head and shoulders above in terms of looks, then yeah. I'd screw him over every other male cast member on B&B(sans Brandon Beemer, of course), but looks can only take you so far. And Diamont only has a few daddy years left in him before his tube steak turns green.

Ronn Moss is terrible at conveying raw emotion, but the charming, egotistical bastard/romantic lead he so effortlessly pulls off. Diamont, not so much.

The Indecent Proposal ripoff is crap. It's not even good crap. And all of a sudden, Eric gets nostalgic about Stephanie and, of course, she takes him back because she's ultimately a glutton for punishment. She's even more pathetic and weak than Eric. The only difference is that Eric gets his heart broken while Stephanie gets a kick in the balls.

BTW, that beautiful rearrangement of the "tragedy, Mike Stich directs in slo-mo cue" in today's show was so wasted on that cemetery scene today between Taylor and Ridge. I don't want Ronn Moss to ever attempt to cry again!

Oh, I'm not defending the writing. But Don...I just love the flirtatious gadfly he's playing. I liked him most in his scenes with Heather Tom. It wasn't just nostalgia...they had a nice repartee. Mostly, it was GREAT to see Heather playing light for a change.

You think Ronn is a "charming, egotistical bastard/romantic lead"? I never got him. Not even when he was young and beautiful I think if they'd play up his villainy, I'd enjoy him much more.

All the rest (Indecent Proposal, Eric/Stephanie)...you're totally right!

Moss plays a decent villain. I loved Ridge VS Amber and Ridge VS Nick and Ridge VS Rick(during the whole Home Shopping Network/Ambrosia Line Days). And his chemistry with Ashley was off the charts, mostly because of Eileen, but he could have easily phoned that story in and not even tried. Ridge clearly, IMO, loved Ashley even if he had only known her for a short time and for once, Ronn Moss played it that way too. Moss(if given a decent scene partner) can easily rise to the occasion.

I hate to say it, but I'm officially ready to join the Morgan Fairchild and/or MTS brigade. This show needs someone to effectively stir the pot while captivating the audience with their beauty. Even if its just for a year. Everyone else is just walking around like a bunch of paycheck collecting drones. It's really sad.

I happen to see today's show. Boy...talk about boring. Eric trying to convince Stephanie to return to Forrester. Moss attempt to act opposite KKL to more insane Rick talk. What a bore of a show.

Good lord is ANYONE writing for this show or do they have interns grabbing old scripts from last month? They've done these same SAME exact Ridge/Brooke/Steffy/Rick scenes about 10 times already in the past 5 months

She was just as bad on Dallas. I don't know if it's the roles Downs is playing or just herself. But as time goes on her acting gets boring to watch. I always loved Koslow and found it odd that they let her go from B&B. She is a underated actress.

In the looks department. But his looks are slowly going to hell. :lol:

I saw him the other day and thought I was watching Brad Carlton. :huh:

I totally DISAGREE. Jackie's one of the few reasons I tune in to this show. Her relationship with Owen is a refreshing change from Brooke-Ridge-Taylor or Rick-Steffy. I like the Jackie M team, too. Lauren Kaslows fine on DAYS. Leave her there. She's not needed on B&B, and would do nothing to add some fun and camp to the show, sorely missed since DC's passing. LAD's much more fun to watch IMHO.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
